'World Leprosy Day' falls on the last Sunday of January. To commemorate this special day, the Polonnaruwa District organised a drama to be presented to the public targeting the weekly 'Pola'. This programme was held at the Agro- Based Economic center in Welikanda and Public Market in Polonnaruwa. The programme was carried out to increase awareness as well as to reduce the stigma and discrimination regarding leprosy.
